Dealer Sells Soldier's Demon 170 While He's Deployed In Iraq

[vortecd]

Is it just me or is @GNBRETT not getting the simple fact at all:

IT WAS NOT THIER CAR TO SELL.

I don't know how much more to say on this subject.

He thinks it is all about the money and they had the keys so they had the right to sell it for more. There are many people in the world that is all that matters to them.

I see things all the time where some car websites rip off other people's stories, use the same pictures and just change them around some.

Mostly about different cars for sale.

Some of the lazier sites rip off stories from forums and facebook and pass them off as news.

Its no wonder our public knows less and less about current events anymore. Journalism is in the toilet.

Holy shit, Jay Leno is now getting in on all this too?

Funny how some stories get a lot of attention and others don't. How many other people been screwed out of their 170 and we don't hear about

Holy shit, Jay Leno is now getting in on all this too?

Did he offer him 1 of his 170s?

Did he offer him 1 of his 170s?

It sounds like he's going to do a JLG show around it and do the presentation/delivery of the car to him.

Everyone is getting into the act. Let's see if anyone gets the deserved recognition??

Nope

This is a new marketing stunt from Dodge and Leno. Hoping to prove that the "brotherhood" is alive and well and go buy your Hellcat or Demon etc.
Only to find out that the Demons are still sitting at 100k over sticker and nobody wants a hellcat anymore.

The bloom is off the rose.

Poor guy got screwed but it sounds like Dodge is trying to make it right!

 

[BULL]

If only they'd hammer down on the rest of the dealerships that did similar things.

The F8 Green Demon 170 is BACK at the dealership and NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE to anyone besides the original military service member who ordered the car.
It’s our understanding that Dodge and Jay Leno are going to do something pretty cool for the service member, and our hats are off to them. In the event that the original customer decides to take Dodge’s offer and decides to pass on the car, we will be wholesaling the F8 Green Demon 170 and all proceeds will be donated to a charity of the service member’s choosing.
The other Demon 170 customers who got wrapped up in this whole unfortunate situation have also been made whole and gotten their Demon 170’s at MSRP.
We’ve made some BIG mistakes that affected multiple people, good people that didn’t deserve to be in the middle of this. To the service member who came in months in advance to sit down and order the car, to the other good-hearted people who had the rug pulled out from under them. We apologize. No amount of “I’m sorry’s” can un-do what’s already been done, we know that, but rest assured it will never happen again.
None of the employees involved in the situation represent our core company values, and that’s why they are no longer with us. The GM, Sales Manager, and Salesperson involved were all terminated after the truth came to light. From the CEO of Mac Haik all the way down through the company we believe in taking care of our customers at the highest level, and the NEW GM and team is 100% committed to doing so.
We are also grateful for the YouTubers and social media influencers who helped bring this story to our attention in the first place. Thank you to “Butter Da Great” for breaking the story and calling on Dodge to make it right, and thank you to “TK” for making sure we followed through on all of our promises! Without you, this may have been swept under the rug, and the dishonest people in their positions of power would’ve been left there to do it again.
This has been a very eye-opening experience for us as a company, sometimes you need to take a step back and reevaluate and that’s what we’ve done. Our focus and goal is to identify the problems, right the wrongs, and put processes and procedures in place so that they don’t happen again.

A Demon for MSRP
No shit.


I would have liked to been able to listen to that phone call from Tim to the CEO. To be bent over like this, i'm sure there were some harsh penalties coming to Mac.

 

[2ndgen]

Based on the stories coming out that this behavior is endemic to their franchise--occurring at multiple locations over a long period of time, sounds like the only "eye-opening" was that they finally got caught...

Wow...

It’s about time the actions of these sneaky dealers be held accountable. @ButterDaGreat? “A big shout out to you“for being diligent. I believe this was the prime reason this got resolved. The only thing that big powerful firms don’t like is large scale negative social media press that can hurt their bottom line. lost sales is what gets their attention. Ironic the very thing Mac Haik was chasing $$$$$$ may very well suffer. No wonder why heads rolled at that dealership. Also it sounds like some at Dodge said this one is to big not to address because of bad image. This DC 170 car has brought out mostly the bad in the sales of it. I would like to to see a list be published of certified MSRP sold 170 cars. Of course that would probably be screwed with as well.The dealerships that valued customers deserve more of the spot light.
